Discussions on ISIS destroying history haven't been in short supply, but how to go about preventing the complete loss of what is destroyed hasn't been really addressed. As a general rule there are some news sites that are better than others, but every site has a great article at times. The below one from the Daily Beast is very interesting:

I think they may be behind the 8 ball already on this.

SCPO David Lockwood I completely agree.

I would love to go to a museum with some accurate proportions, but obviously downscaled, of models of things like the pyramids and sphynx. So I am hoping they pursue this and preserve what "used to be"

Excellent Idea. Not that I haven't tried to leave digital bread crumbs of my own history on-line for any of my ancestors.

That's an interesting thought! 3D rendering could allow for virtual tours of at risk places

The unfortunate thing is that once it's gone... its gone. There is no way to bring that place back and retain it's authenticity.

An accurate copy is still a copy.

SSgt (Join to see) very true! I would still rather see in person the real thing.
